Here's another sneak preview from October's Vogue Japan.  I love this glamorous shoot featuring Ana Beatriz Barros and Alessandra Ambrosio with beautiful styling by Katie Grand and shot by the fabulous Sølve Sundsbø.
I'm glad to see a return to proper glamour which suits both these girls perfectly.  I love the velvet furniture too!
